Awesome!

Wow. I just got back from my two-week homestay in Japan, and man was it amazing! I finally feel like I understand some of the stuff on this forum after going to Japan...and found out I was worrying about the dumbest things!

Yes, I was a monster, because my host family was all around 4'8" or so and I'm 5'10", but it wasn't a big deal. No, my host parents didn't speak English, but I did have a dictionary/phrasebook and we made do. Well, long story short, it was awesome! Definitely the trip of a lifetime. I'm now considering moving to and working in Japan. Any comments?

Cool!

So I would be a giant too at 5'9", heheheheh, funny

At least I'm kinda small for my height anyway

Would be cool to go there myself, but I don't see that coming.

That quote is awesome.

I need to get that inked on my chest.

The only thing I can think of to say is make sure it's something you really want to do. Same thing was told to me when I decided to go to Canada for college.
